Question
What consideration has the Government given to ensuring that there are parent-infant relationship teams and infant mental health teams in all parts of Wales?
Answer
Answered by Deputy Minister for Social Care, Mental Health and Women’s Health (Delyth Jewell)
There is a wider range of work across the Welsh Government that supports parent-infant relationships and infant mental health. This includes health led support, work in education and support for families. We will be led by the evidence as we develop support in Wales.
To promote the importance of infant mental health and parent infant relationships and the excellent work that is already happening in some parts of Wales we will soon be publishing a NYTH/NEST podcast with parent infant specialists.
